Guido Mancusi

CHIEF CONDUCTOR

The Austrian-Italian conductor Guido Mancusi was born in Naples in 1966. Raised in a musical household, he received his first piano instruction from Nino Rota. After the death of his father, the family moved to Vienna. Mancusi became a soprano soloist in the Vienna Boys’ Choir and attended the Vienna Musikgymnasium.
After graduation, Mancusi studied bassoon and voice at the Conservatory of the City of Vienna, as well as composition and conducting at the Vienna Music University. He completed his studies with honors.
His first engagements as music director and choir director were at the City Theater Coburg (FRG), the Theater an der Wien, the Raimund Theater and the City Theater St. Pölten.
To perfect his training as a conductor, he became assistant to Riccardo Muti at La Scala in Milan, assistant in Bayreuth, and assistant to Adam Fischer.
As a conductor, he was a guest in Graz and Kiel. It was in Klagenfurt with Madame Butterfly that Mancusi finally attracted the attention of director Dietmar Pflegerl who made the young conductor the principal conductor, a position Mancusi then held for five years. There he expanded his repertoire and gained important leadership experience. His successes in Klagenfurt also allowed Mancusi to gain greater international attention.
In 1998, Mancusi took over the position of Principal Conductor of the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra and in this role, founded the Chamber Opera Schönbrunn.
With increasing prominence, he was invited on major tours in the following years and so Mancusi conducted in Moscow, Tel Aviv, Helsinki, Stockholm, Rome, Toronto, in the USA, in South America, and finally in Japan and South Korea.
In his home country, he conducted at the KlangBogen Wien and the Wiener Festwochen. Eventually he became permanent guest conductor at the Volksoper Vienna, where he has been an integral and important part of the theater since 2014.
In 2017, Mancusi received the appointment as Principal Guest Conductor of the BDZ Orchestra in Budapest and in 2018 as Music Director of the Seefestspiele Mörbisch.
From the earliest days of his musical life, Mancusi also composed. Today his compositions include masses, passions, cantatas, orchestral works, film scores, two operettas, a ballet, and an opera. Premieres and CD recordings as well as commissions prove Mancusi’s place in the cosmos of contemporary composers.
Mancusi has always considered himself a theater person, as a creator and enabler of fantastic worlds. He understands the division of the words music theater as a unity. As a composer he creates dramatic works, as a conductor he is their lawyer. An interwoven life that cannot be put in a box. This is the life he wants, and he can have it too. Composers and conductors want to give something to people – this is an ideal and Mancusi has been following this ideal for over 30 years.

Josef Hofbauer

Trumpet

Josef Hofbauer was born in Vienna and studied the trumpet with Carole Dawn Reinhart at the Vienna Music University. In 1990, he received his performance degree.
With a wide interest in music styles, he started his own jazz band while still busy with his classical education. Later he continued his studies with the legendary Maurice André.
In 1986, he made his solo debut in the famous Wiener Musikverein.
Concert tours have taken him to most European countries, as well as North Africa, Korea, Japan, China, Brazil, and the United States.
As a soloist, he has fourteen CDs to his credit in various musical styles. Several renowned Austrian composers have written concertos for him.
In 2008, he founded his own band (www.jh5.at) which goes along with him on tours from Monaco to Shanghai.

Austria: Schloss Hunyadi

"Bei uns z'Haus mit Mozart & Strauss"
Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra & Joe Hofbauer
The Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra offered a greeting “from castle to castle” at the opening concert in front of the Hunyadi Palace. The orchestra, which acts as the musical ambassador of our country on its world tours, presented a classical-Austrian program from Mozart and Haydn to waltz music.
Under its chief conductor Guido Mancusi, the orchestra, together with solo trumpet player Joe Hofbauer, played probably the most famous concert for his instrument – the trumpet concerto by Joseph Haydn. The evening was marked by the music that the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra has been bringing to the public from and around the world in an distinctive way for over 20 years.
